"Wasn't it a very hig sea yesterday? It, wap mountains high, and thp long lines of snow-capped waves advanced and broke, then rolled oii to the beach with a mighty sound of thunder, Tho ocean was indeed very angry! "And this poor little soagull trying to battle against llub cruel, strong arm of Nature. Its wing was broken, but this silly wee bird would not let anybody pick him up, and carry him to safety. No! If anybody picked him up he would try to flap his poor wings a,nd peel? at,the hand which held him; then, of courso, whoever was holding him let go, and he would fall down in tho water, and the" sea was so strong it^ would carry him out further each time.'

' "Last Wednesday Mummy, Kathleen, and I went up to Northland to see a lady, and while mo were there the pigeons were let out for a flight, and qh, they did look lovely; over thirty of them, all flying in a big bunch! The lady has a big dog, a pretty smoke grey cat, fowls, ducks, and a great big black drake. It is quite a pet. This morning the 0, A. Larsen camp up our hay to the Miramar Wharf. She was nearly smashed up in the ice packs. Sho is such a great big high boat, with a funny bow. It is square near the top." . VALERIE, Valeric Ward, Evans Bay.
